Christina was amazing!! She sent us frequent updates with lots of photos and followed our instructions to a tea. We could tell that our dog was very calm and happy with her which allowed us to have a worry free vacation. 10/10 would book with her again!

We have used Rachelle a few times now. Twice for day trips and most recently for several days and over nights. My animals bonded with her instantly. Even my cat that’s can not be bothered to like anyone loves Rochelle. I never worry about them when she’s with them. She seems to really care about the animals. Beyond that she leaves my apartment as she found it no matter how much I tell her to make herself at home. We highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!

Anthony was phenomenal. From the moment we booked, until the moment we returned, there was clear communication. During our pre-sitting-visit we could already get the sense that he genuinely cared about Apollo and wanted to do everything possible to keep Apollo safe and comfortable. During our vacation, we received unsolicited (but very welcome) updates about Apollo's behavior, his medication administration, and plenty of pictures of our little man. Anthony also did a great job keeping the apartment clean. When we returned everything looked how we left it, and he even stripped the bed he stayed in for easy cleaning. We definitely plan on hiring Anthony in the future.

Sarah gets the highest marks in all categories. Lovely, personable, responsible, knowledgeable, caring. and attentive to our needs and that of our 14-year old Husky, Shiri. To say Sarah is an animal lover is an understatement. She quickly made best friends with Shiri, and kept us.apprised with messages and photos each day. Sarah is the best!

Chelsey was great! Luna was very confortable with her and she left the apartment as she found it. She sent me updates throughout the evening and even shared a few pictures of Luna having the best time! I would definitely contact Chelsey again if we need a sitter.

Sade quickly became our two dogs best friend!! She was so great with the dogs, followed all of our instructions, took great care of the house, and had great communication and photos. What more could you ask for?! Would highly recommend working with her and we’ve already re-booked with her because she’s so great!

Amina has dog-sat for us several times a year since we adopted our 5-year-old Yorkie, Casha, at 5 months. She is simply the best! When we are lucky enough to get her, my vacations are always more relaxed because I know my dog is getting the best care and having fun. My dog loves Amina. She also is amazing at following any instructions and suggestions. Last trip I suggested a walk to a beautiful ravine path, so she brought my dog there twice! She even took amazing photos of their visit which made me so happy and was an added keepsake for my husband and me. As an added bonus, Amina happens to be an amazing, kind, sweet, empathetic and intelligent person too! She is perfect for little ones with separation anxiety. -Alysha S.

Pam did a great job staying at my house with my 4-yr-old miniature poodle while I was away. I could tell when I got back that he had a really fun time with her, and he had been super well cared for. She sent lots of adorable photos, too. I would definitely hire her again!

I can’t say enough good things about Raakhee. We hired her to stay in our home overnight with our senior dog who doesn’t like too much alone time. She was so responsive, professional, detail-oriented and respectful of our home. It was as clean (if not cleaner) than when we left and she changed the sheets without being asked knowing our flight would be arriving late and we’d be tired. Some people are just very helpful intuitively and that was Raakhee. Her communication about Max was perfect. We got lots of photos and videos so I knew he was doing well and not to worry about him, but not an overwhelming amount. She clearly took great care of him and loves animals and it shows. We would not hesitate to hire her again. My only complaint might be that Max didn’t seem as happy to see us arrive home as he normally does! He’s ready to have Raakhee back.

Amber was an excellent sitter for my dog Oliver! I have been looking for someone trustworthy to take care of him when I have to travel, and I am so thankful to have found Amber! She was skilled at administering his meds and dealing with his little quarks. She was very respectful of our space and left things very tidy! It was my first time leaving Oliver in a LONG time, but amber made me feel at ease and checked in regularly with pictures and updates on how things were going. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks so much Amber!

Drew was very patient with our dog, who can be (and was) very difficult. He handled her like a pro and she warmed up to him very quickly. He also ensured that our cat received all her required meds and was otherwise well cared for. I would highly recommend his services and will definitely book him again if we can.

Samantha was a wonderful sitter for my dog Sadie. Sadie had a hot spot and was super timid (which is unusual for her) and Samantha was sensitive to her needs. Samantha was attentive and communicative to me during the stay, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Samantha!
